Losing grip

They say the easiest way to lose something is to hold on too tight. So i'll loosen my grip for a while. Give you some breathing room, some time to think. Because i can't lose you. Nine years of friendship is just too precious to let go of just because i'm threatened by someone who may as well be me, only 7 years younger.

And i guess my main concern here is that this feels familiar. and i don't want history to repeat itself. I don't want to be edged out right under my nose. Not on my watch. Not anymore.
